Q: Are bird and bat control methods safe for pets and children?

• <div><p>Yes, professionals use humane and safe methods. Inform your provider of any specific concerns before treatment.</p></div>

Q: What is considered a spider infestation?

• <div><p>A spider infestation happens when an unusually high and problematic presence of spiders occurs in a home to the point it becomes disruptive or poses a significant nuisance. If you notice an increase in spider sightings, numerous webs throughout the home, or see multiple spiders daily, it's likely you have an infestation. In cases where the <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/types-of-spiders.htm">types of spiders</a> seen are venomous or medically significant species are present, the number of spiders is insignificant and would require pest control measures. On average, <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-much-does-pest-control-service-cost.htm">pest control costs</a> between <b>$300 to $550 </b>for one-time service.</p></div>

Q: Should I put rat poison in my crawl space?

• <div><p>Using rat poison in your crawl space can be risky. While it may kill rats, they can die in hard-to-reach places, causing foul odors and attracting other pests. Yikes. Moreover, secondary poisoning can happen to pets if they consume poisoned rats. If you decide to use poison, consult a <a href="https://www.angi.com/nearme/exterminators/">local exterminator</a> for guidance to ensure safety and effectiveness.</p></div>

Q: What scent keeps gophers away?

• <div><p>Like many animals, gophers are bothered by strong scents. Peppermint oil, eucalyptus oil, and coffee grounds can be used as deterrents against these pests. Similarly, you can try planting lavender, rosemary, sage, geraniums, or pine trees, as these plants all have strong smells that can ward away gophers. While it may be less pleasant to work with, coyote urine scares gophers by tricking the pests into thinking your yard is a predator hot spot.</p></div>

Q: Do wind chimes keep woodpeckers away?

• <div><p>Hanging wind chimes or motion-activated speakers near your home may be an effective way to deter woodpeckers, as sudden movement and sound often scare birds away. You could also try using reflective decorative items such as pinwheels or mirrors or placing decoys of large predatory birds in your yard. If these measures don&rsquo;t deter the woodpeckers, you may need the help of a bird removal pro.</p></div>

"I wasn't sure what the issue was when I first called Chris. He was able to pinpoint the issue (mice) and the entry points into my home they were using. He then set a series of traps to verify they were indeed mice. Chris was honest and up front about his prices and services. He came back to check the traps to verify it was a mice issue, returning as many times as necessary until the mice were gone. He even gave me a separate quote for sealing the entry points and sanitizing the areas the mice were in, giving me the choice to have him do as much or as little work as I felt was necessary. He performed the work above and was at my house when promised. I would recommend Chris and Bauer Wildlife and Pest Solutions to anyone who is having issues."
